Top Iranian cleric Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami has sharply criticized the storming of the British embassy in Tehran by hundreds of pro-regime protesters, calling the attack „illegal,“ media reports said Sunday.

„I explicitly say that I am against attacking embassies and occupying them,“ he was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.

„Attacking an embassy and occupying it is like invading a country and is illegal,“ said the cleric, who is very close to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
